I am having a feeling of deja-vu here! But does flu pose any real threat and would the government really use a lab-made flu to cause a pandemic so they can implement martial law?

David Swanson: Atrocities of War: Video of US Marines Creates Outrage [video]
RT
January 12, 2012
As Washington attempts to limit the damage done by the now-infamous YouTube video which apparently depicts US marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters, critics say such actions are the inevitable outcome of an unjustified war.
As US defense secretary Leon Panetta condemned the footage “in the strongest possible terms,” Afghan President Hamid Karzai released a statement on Thursday calling the alleged desecration of the dead bodies “completely inhumane.”
With Karzai imploring the US military to punish those responsible, Panetta promised “those found to have engaged in such conduct will be held accountable to the fullest extent.”
The Pentagon further stated it was still in the process of identifying the four soldiers who mockingly urinated on the slain fighters while a fifth one stood back and filmed the incident.
But while the Pentagon attempts to fight off claims that there are systemic problems in the American military, David Swanson, author and campaigner at rootsaction.org, told RT the latest scandal is not an isolated incident.
“This is not a group of four or five sociopaths who somehow made it through screening and got into deployment in the service of the United States. This is the result of the inevitable training that is necessary to get men and women to take part in a war that is not defensive, that has no reasonable moral or legal justification.”
In fact, Swanson argues that scandals like this can actually lead people to overlook greater injustices being committed.
“My outrage in particular is in the fact that these soldiers have apparently murdered these people and the scandal is that they are urinating on them. The hatred that is necessary to get people to do such a thing is necessary to motivate soldiers to fight in a war that has no other credible rationale. The war itself is an atrocity, and so we pick out these particular atrocities and we get outraged. But we don’t look at the underlying fact, and we end up with this incredibly bizarre phenomenon of being upset that someone is peeing on a body that he has killed.”

“Free Syrian Army” Unleashes Suicide Bombing in Damascus; Madrid 2004 Bomber Belhadj of Al Qaeda Now Commands “FSA” from Iskanderun, Turkey; NATO Airlifting Libyan Terrorists and Weapons for Salvadoran Death Squad Option vs. Syria [video]
Webster G. Tarpley, Ph. D.
PressTV
January 6, 2012
Press TV talks with Webster Griffin Tarpley, author and lecturer in Washington who shares his in-depth insights of the movements by Western and Arab elements behind the scenes to destabilize Syria and terrorize its people. What follows is an approximate transcript of the interview.
Press TV: What is your reaction to our first speaker and to the US’ broader plan to, let’s put it this way, at a minimum create this unrest in the country?
Webster Tarpley: Let me confirm some things that the first speaker said. I was in Syria myself in the second half of November and I visited Homs and I went to the Zahra neighborhood and in particular the Zahra hospital and the main demand that was raised by ordinary people of all religions was that they don’t want the Syrian army taken out of there; they want the Syrian army to come in.
The main demand that I heard was that they want the Syrian army to post itself on the rooftops of houses and prevent terrorist snipers from killing people. And those snipers are killing everybody – they’re killing if you are pro-Assad, anti-Assad, taking your kid to school it doesn’t matter because they kill you and then al-Jazeera and the BBC and France24 arrive and say, uh huh, another victim of the Assad regime.
This is, regarding the US, this is the Salvadorian option. People may remember about six years ago now at the beginning of 2005 there was a discussion inside the Pentagon on how to start a civil war in Iraq and they decided they would use the death squads that they had used in Latin America and Argentina in Central America and so forth; that they could bring that to Iraq, but part of that plan was already Syria because they regarded Syria as a part of it.
Now, the specific timing of what just happened – the head of the so-called Free Syrian Army, this colonel who is undoubtedly a NATO agent of some kind, made an ultimatum on Wednesday. He said I’m giving the Syrian government four days and they have to stop shooting, they basically have to surrender or else I will carry out some spectacular action. Well… here is the spectacular action.
The other thing I would stress is that the head of the observers, the Sudanese general al-Dabi, he wanted to go to Eskandarun, Turkey because that seems to be the main NATO base from where this is all being organized.
There has been a NATO airlift from Libya with about 600 to 1500 Libyan fighters from the Libyan Islamic Fighting group, in other words al-Qaeda, led by the infamous butcher Belhadj with all kinds of weapons stolen from Gaddaffi’s arms depots; you’ve got French and British Special Forces officers; you’ve got the CIA; you’ve got the US Joint Special Operations Command running communications. I’m sure given all this the Israelis cannot be far behind.
That’s going on in Eskandarun and you notice the vast majority of violence is in these peripheral areas, it’s either the Lebanese, the Turkish, the Iraqi or the Jordanian border because it’s all being brought in from outside.
The real commander of these death squads, because that’s what they are – it’s a cross border invasion – there is no civil war in Syria; there is no uprising in Syria per se. There’s a cross border invasion of these death squads and terrorists.
Belhadj – this is the butcher of Baghdad, he was killing Shiites in Baghdad for the US to start that infamous civil war. He’s the butcher of Tripoli now, he was part of the NATO invasion. The former prime minister of Spain, Aznar, has pointed out that Belhadj is one of the prime movers of the Madrid 2004 train bombing – so he’s also the butcher of Madrid.
So, Belhadj and his gang they would now like to become the butchers of Damascus and I can’t see how anybody in Syria wants this – you’re going to get a NATO bombing and then you’re going to be put under a bunch of Libyan al-Qaeda terrorists led by Belhadj. Not a good future for Syria.
Press TV: In terms of support that Assad does have in the country, we’ve heard varying degrees, but it’s more than half at a minimum up to 70 percent support with some undecided and some opposition, which is natural.
Is the violence and unrest in that country and its reaction maybe to the advantage of the revolutions and uprisings in pro-US governments like Egypt, Yemen and Bahrain for example – countries that the West calls the alliance of moderation?
Webster Tarpley: The goal of US and British NATO foreign policy in 2011 was the destabilization of all Arab and all Middle East governments almost without exception – maybe some monarchies not immediately, but the rest of them. Entrenched satraps like Mubarak or Ben Ali were dumped because these people had become powerful enough to say ‘no’ on certain issues. For example the US wanted Egyptian bases, Egyptian troops for Iraq and he had said no, so eventually they decided that they would get rid of him.
The goal of course is the destruction of the national state, which is what we’re seeing – partition, war lords, chaos, terrorists like Belhadj taking over the division we see in Iraq and so forth.
I would just like to point out that the financing of this in particular with the example of Belhadj, if Belhadj is this guy who’s been taken from Libya, put on a NATO plane and flown to Eskandarun leaving behind, as was mentioned, a civil war in Libya with the Misrata brigade fighting the other brigades; and the army wants money; it’s total chaos.
That’s fine from the US and British point of view, but when you look at Syria, what’s coming at them is Belhadj and his right-hand man is called el-Harrathi, he’s is Eskandarun and then there’s a guy in the background called el-Salibi and Salibi’s job is he delivers the money. For example, the wrecking of Libya cost about two billion dollars specifically from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar.
And I think you have to look at Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE as the people who are financing this. The direction is clearly NATO; the people on the ground are jihadists from Afghanistan from Iraq from all over, they’ve been brought in by NATO intelligence and the money is coming in from these reactionary monarchs.
Press TV: You have Saudi Arabia, you have Qatar that you mentioned and the United Arab Emirates that are helping. What is there to say that the US, ‘the Empire’ as our guest in London called them is not going to turn against them?
Webster Tarpley: There is no guarantee and eventually as the wheels turn every satrap becomes unbearable because every satrap becomes capable of saying no. So there is no security. I would warn the al-Thani family of Qatar. They think they’re sitting pretty; they won’t be for very long. If you sew the wind you will reap the whirlwind.

Free Speech Is On Thin Ice
- Dees Illustration
By Amir Alwani
Potent News
January 13, 2012
Is anybody noticing all the flak journalists are getting for trying to do their jobs lately? Free speech of any kind seems to be under attack. It is fairly common now to see people getting arrested for video-taping police officers. To add insult to injury, SOPA/PIPA threatens free speech and spells RED ALERT to almost everyone willing to look at the facts. Do any of you think you’ll get anywhere by submitting to any of this, sugar coating it, or looking the other way?
Now is the time to make ourselves heard. When someone encroaches on our liberty we have a duty to fight back.
The role of the mainstream media has traditionally been to limit debate and to basically be the mouthpiece of government. Conversely, the role of the responsibly minded media is to take advantage of technology and opportunities to spread important/urgent information – being our eyes and ears when we can’t be there.
In the Arabic language, when you Love someone you call that person “ee-oo-nee” which means my “eyes” (probably because they offer you another perspective which you see as crucial and valuable). Hijacked governments are taking our eyes, leaving us blind, deaf and dumb – politically impotent.
There is a lot to look forward to in the times ahead but we must first deal with history’s immense baggage which is manifesting in all sorts of grotesque ways now, allowing us to see our true colours. I see a lot of beauty in the world but our present situation is also a nightmarish science fiction scenario for many reasons. At this point we are about to marry that scenario’s much uglier cousin. We must speak now or forever hold our peace (pun fully intended). If you have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about at this point, you have some catching up to do.
Those who witnessed the recent NDAA arrests shouldn’t be surprised at all. Here’s a brief glance at the political climate that has endured in the past couple years and what one might be faced with when trying to record a video, cover an event, attend a protest, have one’s voice heard in a public meeting, etc:
June 26 / June 27, 2010
November 22, 2010
January 7, 2011
June 8, 2011
June 24, 2011
August 22, 2011
August 31, 2011
December 16, 2011 – Culture has succumbed to the point where even a priest was practically kicked out of a town hall meeting recently, probably because they merely didn’t like the sound of his voice.
January 9, 2012
So it’s bad, right?
Don’t you think it’s a slippery slope if we keep letting this kind of thing slide? Over a year ago, State Sen. Bruce Patterson was proposing legislation that would introduce government-registered reporters. Mac Salvo wrote,
Once a reporter is licensed, the public would have the comfort of knowing that the writings, opinions, and insights being presented have been thoroughly sifted, filtered and edited to ensure the information is truthful and easy to understand.
The same population of gullible idiots that require government intervention when it comes to smoking cigarettes, drinking sodas, and salt intake, also need to be told what news they can consume.
I’ll be honest, I don’t know what the current state of affairs are regarding this legislation, but I agree with Salvo and here are my thoughts on the matter.
What was being proposed, albeit “voluntary”, was nothing more than government filtration of information. Our awareness is already extremely narrow and many human beings sadly go from the cradle to the grave without ever experiencing true happiness/bliss (except maybe as children). We need all the help we can get but we don’t need the style of help offered to us by government. The argument often used seems more or less like, “there’s a lot of stupid people out there and you can’t trust everybody so allow us to make sure the biggest and brightest get the spotlight and a chance. Have you no heart? For the love of GOD, let us help you by limiting your options and thinking for you. Let us be your God.”
Even if that argument was somewhat accurate – that is, even if the internet or the general arena of written work was in fact full of crap and you, for whatever reason, feared that people would take some unsavory (possibly dangerous) characters seriously – then it might be worthwhile to take a quick glance at Charlotte Iserbyt’s work because it might shed light on the why people are so ignorant these days and why there may be so much crap to filter through (if there even is indeed that much crap floating around shrouding the truth in a sea of mediocrity).
However, I personally don’t think it’s difficult for anybody to sift through the crap, whether it be online, in a physical library, or a newspaper. Furthermore, nobody is putting a gun to anybody’s head and saying, “believe Joe Blow’s blog or else”. It’s our responsibility to come to our own conclusions and if we’re never given the opportunity to practice that discernment and be able to say, “I did this research on my own”, then we are robbed of yet another freedom. If absurd laws like this were in place, nobody anywhere would be able to say they did the research on their own. You would have to say, “I did this research on my own, but every article I came across was preselected and hand-picked by my government” and so your government would be acting as a middle man.
More importantly, at the end of the day the whole idea of free speech is meant specifically for unpopular speech (probably because times of great change are usually led by a minority). Think about it. We need a great change right now. You’re not going to get it with the help of CNN.
Sometimes the presence of a middle man doesn’t work out so well. Why have a “middle-man” between you and reality? Why are so many people so desperate for powerful people, “experts”, and people with degrees to rule over them?
There is no real danger and there never was, except for maybe the danger posed by a psychopathic government’s obsession with control. Writing about what you see in your world is not the same as performing medical surgery or driving a vehicle. The world is not going to fall apart if one guy posts a slightly inaccurate blog every now and then by mistake. When you read a piece of news, you should critically think about it for yourself because you matter in the grand scheme of things. Chances are that your opinion of whatever piece of news comes your way is actually much more aligned with reality and conducive to genuine growth and maturity (for you and our species) than your government’s version of the events (at least when you can think clearly anyway).
If that still doesn’t make sense to you, consider the following. What if you even already have a degree (which some consider a scam in and of itself, by the way). What assurance can you honestly say you have that this “committee” Patterson is talking about, this bureaucratic arm of a monstrously corrupt and rampaging hijacked government will be fair when contemplating your qualifications (or that any future administration wouldn’t abuse those powers)? This is a hijacked government which, by the way, is controlled by a banking cartel which is hellbent on robbing people of their ability to eat real food, breath untainted air, and drink untainted water.
I would bet that if you did your homework you would have zero assurance that any “committee” like this would be looking out for your best interest.
A recent article titled “Mainstream Media To Bully Bloggers Out Of ‘Fair Use'” mentions,
The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, along with 28 other news organizations, are launching a company which hopes to further profit on their news reporting, by seeking to make paying customers out of websites or blogs which reproduce their content, either in full or in part.
So even if that Detroit legislator mentioned above didn’t get his way, we can see that the corporate oligarchy’s wheels are in motion and that the fight to suppress free speech is ever present.
When people’s websites get torn down or when reporters get arrested for filming a public event or for filming a police officer abusing his/her authority, the message there is simply. “shut up, slave. We own you.”
Sure, if all your life you’ve had a tendency to conform, you might be shortsighted enough to come up with some sort of rationalization for that kind of assault on your freedom but at the end of the day there is no justification for these pompous acts of domination, and worse, they are intertwined with an entire system of domination that has world depopulation at the heart of its agenda. Seen in this light, World War 3 is also not surprising.
Furthermore, when you look at the fact that many honest small businesses actually had their websites shut down and replaced with Department of Homeland Security logos falsely accusing them of being pedophiles and violating child porn laws that is obviously quite another story. I don’t think that’s a fumble. I find it difficult to believe such a mistake could be made. It is like saying, “Oops, I tripped and fell on the button that falsely accused your website of violating child porn laws”. I mean I can’t say for certain, but I’m pretty sure this is a joke or on purpose.
The solution? Do you even have to ask? What could it be?
Simple: Do not shut up. They can’t shut us all up.
I’m already seeing a huge surge of various names in the alternative news media expanding their operations. We do outnumber those pushing for the global genocidal tyranny.
If you do shut up, the powers that be say, “mission accomplished” and celebrate. Instead, listen to your “gut feeling” and act on it, please. You’d be doing me (and all of us) a huge favor.

Dallasgoldbug Shut Down For Exposing Sarah Palin? (video)
The Truther Girls
January 3, 2012
Dallasgoldbug channel was shut down on January 01, 2012. The last video he had put up was one claiming to expose Sarah Palin as Tina Fey, who was supposedly me (Truthergirl Sonia), who was supposedly another youtuber called Deborah. If this is the first you are hearing of this and the ridiculousness of the last sentence made you laugh, you might be astonished to learn that many people actually believed this. How could that happen? That is what I will explain in this video and it all comes down to the power of suggestion.
